Still no flags on saints.  Color me shocked.

if whistle guy is still there after halftime this stadium security needs to be fired

If the Rams overcome the stadium, refs, security, the NFL, and the Saints to win— they deserve a Super Bowl for real.

Stadium security is probably handing more out at halftime.

Add salted peanuts to the bottle of coke. 

Might have to try that, I remember my mom doing it when I was a kid. I drink like one soda a week but it's always a Mexico Coke that I buy by the case at Sam's Club, lol.

Fugging Aints and there fans can get away with it for some reason.

First off, the whistling is driving me crazy!  Secondly, that was a HUGE drive for the Rams.  Home-field advantage is definitely proving to be a factor for the Saints.  GO RAMS!

Used to be a penalty against the home team if the crowd made to much noise. 

 

Nfl should have it for artificial noise makers.

I wonder does Dree Brees gets criticized for tossing the ball to his RB too much?

Strahan looks and sounds drunk, wow

5 yard penalty for the defense home team and also could lose timeouts.

Rams defense played pretty well in the first half.  Holding the first drive and the mini-drive after the turnover to FGs was huge.  They started getting pressure in the second quarter and that really shut things down.

Saints defense played well in the first quarter, but loosened in the second.  Two big drives by the Rams.

Just an observation: the Rams looked very tight early (in fact throughout the first quarter).  Right now, that is the difference.  The interception off Gurley's hands and the offsides on 4th and 2 really put them on the ropes early.

The whole Internet is complaining about Saints artificial sound noise on D.

I love whenever the announcers poo on this coaching staff for not using cj Anderson. They deserve it, this the most riveras staff has been criticized by the media in 8 years.
